Experience with Hamilton Beach stand mixer?

Does anyone have experiences to share about the use, performance, and overall quality of the Hamilton Beach stand mixer linked below? I discovered it's being sold on Cooking.com for $169.99. It's got only a 4.5-qt. bowl, but has 400 watts and a tilt head, which I think is my preference over a lift head. Overall, this seems like a real bargain compared to prices I've seen for KitchenAid mixers, and I believe KAs with similar wattage are all of the lift-head type. Have to say, I like the look of this one more, too.
